The piece

How to choose and wear a puffer jacket

A quilted, insulated jacket for real cold. The warmest casual coat, not a tailored one.

How to choose

  • Down or a good synthetic fill; check the fill power for warmth.
  • Matte finishes look less sporty than shiny ones.
  • Black, navy, olive and cream.

Common mistakes

  • Over a suit.
  • Wide trousers underneath, making the whole outfit bulky.
  • Shiny puffers with smart shoes.

Care: Wash on gentle with down detergent, tumble dry low with tennis balls.

In a capsule: The winter coat of a casual capsule.

The details

Layering and fabric

What makes the colours above look deliberate.

Layering
Slim or straight bottoms keep the volume balanced.
Fabric
A cold-weather piece: wool, knit, leather and suede sit best with it.

Avoid

What not to wear with black puffer jacket

Skip the dark brown loafers. Loafers are dressier than a puffer jacket, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: black and dark brown are both neutral but similar in depth, so the outfit reads soft.
